don't worry fellas i'll put on a true show with my LB9 next year.... 1meanz you won't be disappointed HAHAHAHA

 

Everyone has said their piece. Bustin' each other's ballz, is for lack of a better word, part of our car culture. That's okay. But the name calling is uncalled for.


Let's move on boys.

With great power comes great responsibility. I was thrilled when he took the car for a run. This was my third year at Thirdgen Fest and it was nice to see Steve take it on the road. I was even more impressed by how he drove the car. This car was built for the strip. To go out on a back road and drop a hard run with people standing on both sides of the car is stupid. He took the responsible route and still showed me how quick his car is.

Year after year Steve has helped us 'younger’ crowd tune up our cars. I remember a couple years back Steve took a light, a screw driver, and a can of beer and tuned a kid’s car up in a matter of a few minutes. It went from barley being able to run to idling smooth as a baby’s bottom. The kid was so thrilled that someone would even bother to help and do it for free. This is what the show is about.

I bet I had one of the slowest car there and would be lucky to run in the 17s and Steve knows it. But all I heard out of his mouth were good things. He even complemented my stock LO3.

Keep coming Steve and running the Southside Caravan.

 

heh, I'm the last person to impress. My exit from TGF was by far the most boring. My GTA just silently putts away with a single steam trail from it's solitary tail pipe... I watched it on youtube last night and even bored myself...

 

Steve has been very helpful and we all appreciate his contribution. I've even stated that earlier in this thread. I've never meant to belittle that fact, or make this a personal thing against him. This was meant to be car-guy calling out car-guy on a car-guy topic. I've used poor judgement in making this a pissing match. If I had a question I should have sent Steve a PM instead of creating a spectacle.

 

^^^^ ok he feels sorry... see you all next year

 

We'll have a beer together next time we meet up and its all good.

 

Next year I hope I have my car there and don't have to ride passenger. Let's hope for better weather and more thid gens for next year!

 

I Cant wait hopefully i will have my car there next year.......steve bring the hog wild

 

Where are the burnout videos?????


Now, I'm getting angry

 

Search for Thirdgen Fest 2013 on YouTube and your anger will go away.

 

ok I know some dude was filming the whole time... he took footage of me pulling up around 1pm... is that GearHead Abe? Post all the footage man!

 

I have big respect for Steve #1 he knows his **** and anyone that says he doesn't or is making excuses is foolish for saying it. Burn out no burn out that was the most I have ever seen his car drive and it was a honor to see what he has accomplished over the years com to life. Who else can say they hand bent his headers.... Probably no one that was there.

 

Now I got people making fun of my open diff. burnout and saying it didn't have a lot of power! I was hardly on the gas.....oh well it'll have a posi next year, I'm looking for a 5.3 too.

 

My anger is now subsided....


Thanks
